The popular uses of this domain are endless. Add your favorite subject - Vancouver, Thai food, dubstep - to name a website dedicated to your passion. It’s also an obvious choice for anyone who works with, uh, rocks - geologists, mineralogists, masons and, of course, jewelers.
Pre-Registration Information
The .ROCKS launch is divided into three pre-registration phases: Trademark Holder (Sunrise), Priority Pre-Registration (Landrush) and General Availability. Each phase has specific application requirements:
Pre-registration gives you the best possible chance of securing a domain name before it's available to the general public, but it doesn't guarantee you will get it. You can pre-register for Sunrise, Landrush and General Availability phases, and we'll submit your registration application when the phase begins.
Note: If you are awarded the domain name, you have 5 days to cancel your domain name and get a refund of the registration fee only.
Once this phase opens, trademark holders can submit an application to register a .ROCKS domain containing their owned mark, before it's available to the public.
Trademark validation goes through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), which is an ICANN global repository for trademark data. Visit the TMCH website for information on registering a trademark.
Bulk .ROCKS registration is not supported during Sunrise.
If you aren’t able to secure the domain name, we’ll refund the registration fee. Application fees will not be refunded.
Note: If you are awarded the domain name, you have 5 days to cancel your domain name and get a refund of the registration fee only.
